This document is an invitation to a briefing on climate history by Dr. Willie Soon from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The briefing, hosted by the Cooler Heads Coalition and the George C. Marshall Institute, will discuss Dr. Soon's findings that temperatures in the late 20th century were not unusual compared to the past 1,000 years and challenge claims that the 20th century was the warmest or that 1990s were the warmest decade. Reservations are required to attend the briefing.
